Low Carb Protein Rich Banana Nut Bread

Ingredients:

2/3 cup of Agave Syrup
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 large eggs
2 large bananas or 3 medium bananas (mash by hand if doing the mixture
by hand otherwise can be directly placed in the food processor)
+ 1 chopped banana for topping to be added after processing the mixture
1 3/4 cup of chickpea (garbanzo beans) flour
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of crushed cloves
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of chopped nuts ***We used chopped almonds***


Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 180 celsius (350 Fahrenheit right about).

Mix all the wet ingredients either by hand or use the plastic S-blade
for the food processor: Agave syrup, olive oil, eggs, mashed bananas or can be placed whole if using food processor. Pulse it so as not to have the mixture too liquified.

Once they have mixed well add the dry ingredients:
Chickpea flour, baking soda, sea salt, crushed cloves, nuts, and vanilla. Process on slow speed until thick and well mixed.

Pour into a rectangular deep dish baking pan 9 inch length, 4 inch width and 2.5 depth.

Bake until golden and run a toothpick through to test usually between 35-45 minutes.

***We actually cooked this recipe into MUFFINS - cook muffins about 15 minutes but watch them as some oven cook different than others.***

These are very moist and filling but healthy as well as balanced with all the good fats (Omega 3s), great source of protein from the chickpeas and no insulin load as agave does not have the same effect on insulin levels. This recipe can also be diabetic friendly.
